J.J. Chen's Eatery (J.J.陳氏餐廳)

We absolutely love it here! The food is truly delicious and the staff is so courteous and always willing to give great recommendations. Our favorites by far are the Salt and Pepper Flounder, Pan Fried Noodles with XO Sauce, and Szechuan Green Beans. 10/10 is not a high enough rating—we will be lifelong customers for sure.

I ordered a combo. it included "chicken fried rice", but my rice gas NO Chicken. I asked to get rice with chicken IN IT, I was told that there are chicken rice has minced tiny pieces of chicken in it because the chicken is chopped up by a machine not by a person. I asked to upgrade to shrimp fried rice and was told that the upgrade charge would be $8! and my orange chicken is Over Cooked! no TY. never again! maybe You can FIND THE CHICKEN on the rice! 👀 I AM Pissed and Hungry!

Solid four stars reflect dimsum menu. It has been a while, so I tried their Mongolian beef and mala pork again… but I was not wowed. Mongolian beef is still VERY onion heavy, and not the dark brown dish with green onions anymore. IT’s still tasty, but definitely feels more Americanized than authentic. Mala pork lunch special is not the real authentic Mala dish. Not for me. I asked for hot. But wasn’t. But we had American friends with us and they loved the dish, more than the Mongolian beef. So up to your palate! Dimsum Pork and shrimp and chive dumplings were yummy! Looked very home made. Turnip cake with xo sauce is still delicious. Hacao is ok, but not fantastic. Eggplant is delicious. It felt a little less stuffed in this visit, but taste was still on spot. Owner lady (I think she’s the owner) was nice and friendly. Previous review:========================================== I've previously really loved this little joint for their excellent dimsum menu. I didn't have any dimsum items this time so this updated review only reflects my take out experience. Hopefully, their dimsum remains as good as I remember it. I had no issues with the people working here. Everyone was nice, though not the most friendly staff I've met. I placed the order online and got my food in expected amount of time. Food price was fair and the amount of food they packed in for me was great. I was just under wowed by the taste. Mongolian Beef This used to be our absolutely favorite Mongolian beef in town. Some years ago, the dish changed, though, and it has remained the same. I had hoped it was a fluke and it would return to its original delicious self, but it hasn't. it's still very onion heavy and no more char-grilled flavor from before. *cry* Szechuan Ma La Beef First time trying this mala dish - MALA is a Chinese spice that is very distinctly peppery and spicy. This dish was not it. It felt like the usual garlic sauce beef. I'm not sure whether they skimped out on the mala or if they mistook my order. Either way, I was hoping for a more authentic fare and received something more toned down. Considering that the dishes were so under-authentic, I'm not too keen on returning for dimsum.

The egg fooyun was incredible! The dim sum was hot and fresh. Definitely recommend the stick fried rice and shrimp eggrolls! Was absolutely happy with all the food we tried! Very nice owner support local business and try this hidden gem! You won’t be disappointed!

JJ Chen’s is one of the best Chinese spots in the milwuakee area! The owner really prides himself in his food. As my sister and I were the only customers at the time in the shop he came and talked to us. Really friendly guy! The food was high quality and extremely tasty! Of all the places I have tried in Chicago I will say JJ Chens is on my list of places for Chinese I wi good to for food. The service was best I have ever seen at any place. The atmosphere made me think about how Chinese restraunts were back in the 90’s. So, I loved it! Definitely give JJ Chen a try!

This is by far the best Chinese eatery in Milwaukee. Everytime I’m on hwy 100 I stop here.. I’ve grown to know the staff how much I’m there. Jon - Yin - George and the kitchen staff are so friendly and put their heart and soul into this place. The food is so authentic and the dim sum is to die for.

This is my family's go-to for Chinese. The service is truly excellent: they're always pleasant, the prices are reasonable, the order is always right, it's always ready on time (usually a little early in fact), always hot and fresh. When I'm ordering for the spouse and kids, or on the odd Thursday evening when I'm too tired to cook, and what I really need is for everyone to get what they expected, no surprises or delays or hassles, this is the place. They have a few tables but the vibe is definitely takeout. The food is fine -- I wouldn't say it separates itself from the pack of local Chinese takeouts -- but they have a dim sum menu which is rare in Milwaukee, and there are a few gems on it.

I feel like I have been punked, especially for the price paid. The food we had delivered was horrible and none of it was edible. The "bao buns" were congealed and brown. The chicken on a stick was cold and meat stringy. The Hunan Style Beef was not spicy as requested, had a ton of carrots, celery, and mushrooms in it (WTF?) which I would have NEVER ordered if I knew it was going to have all of that, the beef itself was chewy. The rice smelled horrible, like it was old or not cleaned/cooked properly. This was my first and my last time ordering from here.
